4111 - Squirrely


Keeping with the sleep late theme, here's a squirrely post.

And I never need coffee. Ever. I can't stand that nasty stuff. I know a lot of people like it but I also know people like me that hate it. Coffee is bitter and there is nothing you can do to it to cover up the bitterness. I could be considered a supertaster.

Here's a list of some of the foods from the supertaster wikipedia page that supertasters don't like...

Certain alcoholic beverages (gins, tequilas, and hoppy beers)
Brassica oleracea cultivars (become very sulfurous, especially if overcooked)
Brussels sprouts
Cabbage
Kale
Coffee
Grapefruit juice
Cilantro
Green tea
Watercress, mustard greens, horseradish, dandelion greens, rutabaga and turnip
Soy products
Carbonated water
Tonic water – quinine is more bitter to supertasters
Olives (green)

Other tasters are 'normal tasters' and 'non tasters'. Non tasters love bitter.
